Speaker ID and other....

[ahartig]

I received a message from a local estate sale gal I made friends with a few months ago. She is offering these items to me at first dibs. Can anyone ID either set of speakers or the receiver?

Thanks!!!

I don't know about the receiver or the speakers on either end, but the larger ones look like Bozaks. The size and the feet and bases seem a lot like the 302 Urbans I had. I'd grab the speakers and the matching cabinet if I were you.

the speakers seem like jennings perhaps, that diamon pattern on the top is familiar.

The larger soeakers look a lot like the bozaks bshorey suggested. Any ideas on the other speakers on the outside of the larger ones?

Correct! Got this follow up pic from seller.

Get 'em just to keep the line open.

Ya. I'm going to try. That cabinet would be a major upgrade to what I have now and would match my flooring and Altec Valencias very nicely.

Anyone have a clue as to what kind of TT that might be?

That's a custom console so the speaker cabinets could have god knows what for the drivers. The console speakers have that egg crate foam screen like was common in the late 70s early 80s.

The best part of this is the Console/speaker cabinets and the drivers might be killer. I would not use the pull out TT tray for any table though, so that leaves the top of the console for the deck.

Ya I would use all the bottom part for record storage, remove the pullout tray, and put the TT on top and maybe hide an amp/ preamp on the top shelf. Hopefully I can go check it out soon.

I'm guessing a 80's/90's plastic based turntable (Pioneer? Technics?). Might be a competent turntable but probably not TOTL! Knowing what cartridge it has would be interesting.

Here is a picture of the larger speakers without the grills. Doesn't not look like the Bozak 302..... any ideas? The estate sale gal said these larger speakers are "worth" $150. Not sure where she is getting her info from.

The EV T-35 tweeters in those cost $170 new these days, woofers might be electrovoice as well, they had red surrounds.

 

[ahartig]

So does this look like an EV speaker then I assume? Home brew?

Yes. Best case scenario, they are great speakers. Worst case, you'll get your money back. Try to talk them down if you can though.

 

[fishondwan]

Yes and yes.

I would grab them.
Those SX-727's sound real nice too

I often buy stuff from my "estate contacts" just to keep them coming to me. If she wants $150-200 for it all, pay it. It will come to you in the future

Not sure if I'm breaking the rules, but it appears she wants $450 for everything, speakers and matching cabinet plus everything in the cabinet. $150 for just speakers and $300 for cabinet and all its contents.

A little searching found this may be an EV Regal woofer (Regal III or 300?). Although they have red surrounds, I did not see any with chrome dust caps. But this may get you started finding a value - search google images for the woofer, then ebay completed auctions for the tweeters, woofers and 727.
